SeeGee Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 OH, myself and the 2 beagles went for a training session at Redcliffe with Jane from Dogs on Track yesterday. She bought Sharnie, a greyhound she takes with her sometimes. Sharnie was so beautiful, so calm....nothing could sway her. Her lovely long face, which she allowed me to stroke, her beautiful head that she let me pet, and long muscular body that was just amazing. I wish I had taken a picture of her . I have never ever met a Greyhound up close before, theres none in my area at all - plenty of whippets, no greyhounds. She was the most incredibly soft natured dog. I fell in love . Told hubby that when we get more space, it will be time to get involved with Greyhound Rescue. She was just SO beautiful. I understand not all Greyhounds are like that, but my goodness, she is an asset to her breed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monah Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 all the greys I've met have been like that. Many sighthound breeds have that lovely nature and are 'grown up' and very sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.mister Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 me too All the ones I've met have been similar. I have decided that at at least one point in my life, I must adopt a Grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBL Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 LMAO no, not at all.....Sharnie was HUGE!!! They can curl themselves up into tiny spaces My 2 are pretty tiny - Patch is 27.5 kgs and Lilly is only 22.5kgs. Aside from a 5pm zoomie they spend all day on a couch or bed.

They fold away to almost nothing as they are all legs. Greyhounds are the most gorgeous, gentle, appreciative, sweet and loving natured animals. I absolutely adore them. Very easy to fall in love with. Super easy to live with, and are easily kept happy. Let's face it, anything is better than a cold kennel in a GHs eyes. I know I will definitely be having another Grey one day. Just love 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I never ever liked Greys, till i met my first one It was at a pet expo and i spent almost all day sitting on the couch they had there with the dogs, I feel in love and know I will own one one day!! Even Mum, who isnt a dog person, agreed with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyra Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I love greys, can't see me ever having one though, OH thinks their ugly They have such beautiful natures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Spots Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Sharnie is a particular gem, she is so so so laid back. A wonderful asset to the breed My whippet has charged and snapped at her and Sharnie just looks down her regal nose at her. Jane is awesome as well - she has helped us heaps can't speak highly enough of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darlingdog Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hubby and I have already decided that we will have a greyhound as our " small white fluffy dog" that we will have in our old age , fantastic temperment and no having to bend down with what will be our old arthritic joints !! What could be better ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
